The Telugu Titans take on the Bengaluru Bulls in the 81st match of the Pro Kabaddi 2022 (PKL) on Tuesday, November 15, at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune.
Once the most fiercely contested rivalries in PKL history, it's surprising to see the two teams with vastly different graphs now. While the Titans are stranded in the bottom half of the table for quite a while now, the Bulls look on course to finish in the top two.
The Titans suffered another defeat in their last encounter, losing 30-41 to the UP Yoddhas. Meanwhile, the Bengaluru Bulls' smart bonus point tactic helped them secure a 40-34 win over the Tamil Thalaivas.
A win here for the Bulls will take them back to the top of the points table ahead of Puneri Paltan, with the Titans playing for pride and to regain some confidence.

TEL vs BLR Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Match 81
Raider - Bharat
Six raid points away from topping the charts, Bharat has been tremendous this season. Against a struggling Titans side, he is expected to pick up another Super 10.
Defender - Vishal Bhardwaj
Vishal Bhardwaj looks like the only Titans player with some confidence in this game. With Parvesh Bhainswal scoring points inconsistently and Surjeet Singh out of form, Vishal has done the heavy lifting. Some handy tackle points are expected from him.
All-Rounder - Neeraj Narwal
Neeraj Narwal might be the only starting all-rounder available to pick for this game apart from Mohsen Maghsoudlou. His good mix of touch points and tackle points makes him the best option on paper among the all-rounders.
